It's a pleasure to read a book written by a mathematician who knows how to write.
Noah Giansiracusa's "By explaining the flaws and foibles of everything from Google search to QAnon - and by providing level-headed evaluations of efforts to fix them - Noah Giansiracusa offers the perfect starting point for anyone entering the maze of modern digital media."
"Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and contributing editor of The Atlantic, said, "From deepfakes to GPT-3, deep learning is now powering a new assault on our ability to tell what's real and what's not, bringing a whole new algorithmic side to fake news."
On the other hand, remarkable methods are being developed to help automate fact-checking and the detection of fake news and doctored media.
Success in the modern business world requires you to understand these algorithmic currents, and to recognize the strengths, limits, and impacts of deep learning - especially when it comes to discerning the truth and differentiating fact from fiction.
This book tells the stories of this algorithmic battle for the truth and how it impacts individuals and society at large. In doing so, it weaves together the human stories and what's at stake here, a simplified technical background on how these algorithms work, and an accessible survey of the research literature exploring these various topics.
"How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News" is an accessible, broad account of the various ways that data-driven algorithms have been distorting reality and rendering the truth harder to grasp.
From news aggregators to Google searches to Yo.
